Ingredients:  
1 cup (4 oz) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked long-grain rice (approx. 1/2 c. uncooked)
1/2 cup drained canned sliced mushrooms (I used 1 c. fresh mushrooms)
1/2 cup diced onion (I use 1 small cooking onion, grated)
1/4 cup skim milk
4 tsp reduced-calorie margarine
1/4 tsp salt
4 cups fresh broccoli crowns, chopped (or 20 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If you are using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it. If you don't, the casserole may be a little watery and you may need to add 1 Tb. flour to thicken.
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium saucepan. (I saved a sprinkling of the cheese for the top of the casserole. This is optional.) Cook over low heat 4 minutes or until cheese melts, stirring constantly. Add the broccoli and cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
Spoon mixture into a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. (If you use a glass casserole, no need for cooking spray) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Sprinkle optional cheese and breadcrumbs on top.
